Description
My paper seeks to advance a rounded and grounded view of the nuclear subject and the Atomic World, more than is presently on the table. My insights in this area derive in the first instance from working as a geologist in Canada where I became involved in a search for uranium. This work triggered my curiosity about the nature of the energy in the atom. Nuclear physics determined in the 1930's that there are 'four-interactive-forces' in each and every atom. My introspective nature caused me to inquire about the metaphysics of these 'four forces'. This approach allows us to see how those 'four energetic qualities' in the atom are equally here at work between and within us humans. They are especially evident in our family lives.
My concern for the nuclear subject led me to work at Dounreay, the reactor here in northern Scotland. I had grown up in a British colonial household, in Kenya, where my father was part of the British colonial administration. That experience helped me see how we British, along with the other nuclear nations, are working in the Atomic World as colonists. History is repeating itself. We are repeating ourselves. Indeed, what goes on inside our reactors looks like a modern equivalent of the African Slave Trade. Many avenues of inquiry open up from these insights.
